With every character she does and the films she chooses, Swara Bhasker makes a statement; and the actor says her biggest fear would be doing work which would embarrass her when she looks back.

Swara gained prominence by featuring in the "Tanu Weds Manu" franchise and "Raanjhanaa" before headlining critically-acclaimed films like "Nil Battey Sannata" and "Anaarkali of Aarah".

The actor says she has been very principled regarding the films she wants to do even when the work was scarce and the struggle real.

In an interview with PTI, Swara says, "Even when I was struggling, in my early days, I've never done work which I didn't want to do or done something just for the money. May be occasionally there was a judgement of error, a particular script which looked nice but didn't turn out well.

"But as actors, when we die, we are only going to leave behind our body of work. I really don't want to be embarrassed in my grave. I don't want people to say 'oh what has she done.' I'm very careful about what I choose."
